Random signs at different locations sometimes just get displayed too dark. Happens in Vanilla singleplayer as well as on my Bukkit Server.
Replacing the sign or changing the light level does not fix the issue.
Additionally, when the HUD is hidden (F1 mode), ALL signs are displayed too dark.
This wouldn't really be a problem (besides looking weird), but when using colored text, you can't read some colors.
Yes, I know this is a duplicate of MC-33304, but since that issue was marked as resolved (which it isn't) i added this bug report.

@Kumasasa I placed the signs with Bukkit, but for Vanilla it would be for the first sign (top left):
/setblock ~ ~ ~ wall_sign 3 place {Text1:"§lWillkommen!",Text2:"Bist du neu auf",Text3:"§6U§8G§fCH§r?",Text4:"Dann gehe am"}
I know you're now going to say "colored signs aren't used in Vanilla", yes, maybe, but the problem also affects "vanilla" signs (top right sign). You can read the text then but the sign itself is still too dark.
Quote from MC-1313:
This is NOT a problem in Vanilla Minecraft and cannot be reproduced without any external editors. Therefor it's not a valid report for this tracker.
@Kumasasa
This actually IS a Vanilla Problem! Maybe not that you can't read colored text, but in Vanilla, Random signs just turn dark too, that IS a bug, and that NEEDS to be fixed!
@David MC-45492 This but may be fixed at the same time, seems to be aggravated in the latest snapshot.
@Talven81 I currently can't try this (only mobile internet), would be great if someone has some of those "dark signs" in a map tries this in 14w04.
@David: As long as this cannot be recreated by vanilla means, this remains invalid. The reason for not allowing coloured signs in vanilla may be this issue.
@Kumasasa It is a vanilla issue, too. It happened to me in vanilla, as in the bug description: "Happens in Vanilla singleplayer as well as on my Bukkit Server."
Also, you CAN place coloured signs in vanilla, see the command I posted above.
David, show me how to enter § in a command block or the command line in vanilla.
When copying and pasting your "vanilla" command from the description, all I get is
[23:10:45] Data tag parsing failed: Unbalanced quotation: du neu auf",Text3:"6U8GfCHr?",Text4:"Dann gehe am"}
@Kumasasa As I said, I currently can't test anything. I only know that it is (well, maybe was, tested it on 1.5 last time) possible to color sign text with the § sign in vanilla.
This issue isn't exactly because of the colored signs, sadly I have no idea how to reproduce this bug. Just happens randomly... But as it also happens with uncolored signs in vanilla, the color can't be the problem.
Please provide the commands to place that signs.
